Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has thanked fans for their support after defeat at Liverpool.
Mackay made it "crystal clear" he will not resign despite pressure from owner Vincent Tan to do so.
"The supporters have been immense since day one, two-and-a-half years ago," he said.
"This season they have shown everyone what a class act they are on their travels or back in south Wales.
"They have shown they are a great addition to the Premier League and I hope it stays that way.
"I am very humbled that our fans have taken to myself and my staff and the team. They are very passionate people who love football and they desperately want success.
"When we got to the Carling Cup at Wembley I saw 40,000 going bananas and they should really be enjoying the Premier League season.
"But there have been situations for non-footballing reasons which have been in the press and that is why earlier in the season I apologised for what the have had to put up with.
"I am proud of the job and the association I have (with the club) and I couldn't walk away from the people who work for me: training ground staff, coaching staff, staff at the stadium, that group of players who I have so much respect for and also the fans.
"I am not going to walk away from them either."
